Utada Hikaru wrote the new theme song for movie Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo, which was released on November 17, 2012.The music clip was directed by Cannes International Film Festival Grand Prix winner Naomi Kawase. The clip expresses the concept of "motherhood" in a universal light, using beautiful sceneries of Japan. Kawase says, "Because we live in a time such as this, I wanted to incorporate the message of 'the need to value the things that are presently and immediately around us and can be touched.'" This is a collaborative film for which Utada and Kawase met and exchanged ideas many times in the process of creating it.
